A
Route 66
institution,
Delgadillo's Snow Cap Drive-In in
Seligman,
Arizona
has been serving
Route 66
travelers since 1953. Growing up on
Route 66,
the famous drive-in was built by Juan Delgadillo along with his brothers
and his father, out of scrap lumber Juan collected while working for the
railroad. When the drive-in was complete, Juan quit from the railroad and
ran the establishment with his wife, Mary.
In addition to the great
food served at the drive-in, Juan's sense of humor developed
life-long guests for many
Route 66
travelers. Filled inside and out with crazy signs and unusual props,
customers were greeted with jokes and other antics that made frequenting
the drive-in an "adventure" in and of itself Juan died in June, 2004
at the age of 88. However, its tradition of great food, served up with a
large dollop of humor, continues through his children.
Both Juan and his brother, Angel, who ran a
barber shop just a few doors down, were instrumental in forming the
Historic Route 66 Association.
The
Snow Cap Drive-In is located at 217 E. Route 66.
